Learning from Loons

by David W. Stowe

Like the loons that have fascinated him since his boyhood summers, Elliott Fowler thought he had paired for life. Instead, he finds himself navigating marital separation with his soon-to-be ex as their two children prepare to leave the nest. Elliott, a freelance scholar, gets pulled toward spirituality as he researches a book on the cult of evangelical beer brewing. And pulled toward a new future with a seemingly more compatible partner. But the eerie call of the loon haunts his soul, and he dreams of resolving his earthly problems by drawing on the bird's wisdom. And redeeming his earlier, failed self-help book, "Learning from Loons."

I won this book on Goodreads first reads, thank you!

Learning from Loons pulled me in from the first page. In this book we accompany Elliot Fowler in his struggles to keep his family and his own psyche intact. . The story is poignant, and the protagonists are very compelling and real.

Can’t wait to read more by David W. Stone

This book was a bit hard for me to get through. It was not really engaging for me.
